Srinagar, Aug 14: For many parents, accompanying their children to the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar for undergraduate admissions was an occasion marked by pride, anticipation and a sense of achievement, as their wards embarked on a new phase of academic life. On the second day of undergraduate admissions at the Institute on Friday, parents accompanying students seeking admission to various programmes appreciated the arrangements, describing the process as orderly, efficient and convenient. For families who had travelled from different parts of the country, the admission day also brought relief after months of preparation and uncertainty. Parents said clear guidance from staff and the availability of essential services on campus helped them complete the formalities without much difficulty. Rajesh Kumar, a parent from Punjab, said seeing his son secure admission to NIT Srinagar was a proud moment for the family. We had been waiting for this day for a long time. There was naturally some nervousness when we arrived, but the way the staff guided us made everything much easier. From document verification to the final formalities, everyone was very cooperative, he said. Ram Prasad Meena, a parent from Rajasthan whose son secured admission to Mechanical Engineering, said the arrangements had made the transition easier for both students and families. For us, this is a very important moment. Our son is beginning a new chapter of his life, and as parents we wanted everything to go smoothly. The staff guided us properly, while having different facilities available at one place made the process much easier, he said. Shradda Kumari from Patna, Bihar, whose ward was admitted to the Institute, said her family was impressed by the way the rush of students and parents was managed. We were expecting a long and tiring process, but things moved smoothly. The staff was patient and cooperative. It was reassuring to see that the Institute had made arrangements to assist parents at every stage, she said. Shradda said parents often carry concerns when their children leave home for higher education, adding that the arrangements at the campus helped ease some of those apprehensions. As parents, we always worry when our children take such a big step. Seeing the arrangements here and the way officials are helping students gives us confidence, she said. She added that the atmosphere on campus was encouraging, with students appearing excited about beginning their journey at one of the countrys premier technical institutions. Dean Academic Affairs, Prof. B.A. Mir, said the admission process was progressing smoothly, with teams working continuously to facilitate students and their parents. Today, we have completed the admission process for around 80 candidates, taking the overall number of admissions to 169 so far. The response has been encouraging, and our teams are working to ensure that every student and parent gets proper assistance throughout the process, Prof. Mir said. He said the Institute had streamlined the admission procedure by bringing different facilities and services together at the campus, allowing students to complete their formalities in a coordinated manner. Our teams are working tirelessly from 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM to ensure a hassle-free experience for students and parents. We have tried to make the process as convenient as possible, with the required facilities available under one roof, he said. Senior officials are monitoring the arrangements and speaking with students, parents, and staff to ensure coordination across teams during the ongoing admission process.

Madhav Kaushik Appointed Captain Of Noida Kings For UP T20 League 2026
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Noida Kings have appointed experienced Uttar Pradesh batter Madhav Kaushik as their captain for the fourth edition of the UP T20 League, as the franchise looks to mount a strong challenge for the title in the upcoming season. Madhav, who joined Noida Kings from the 2024 Meerut Mavericks, brings with him considerable experience in the UP T20 League as well as Uttar Pradeshs domestic cricket structure. His appointment also gives the Kings a leader who has already handled captaincy responsibilities in the competition, having led Meerut Mavericks to the title in 2024 and also to the finals in the 2025 edition. Madhav has been one of the consistent performers since the UP T20 League's inaugural season in 2023. In the first two editions, he accumulated 716 runs, scoring 350 runs in 2023 and improving that tally to 366 runs in 2024. His 2024 campaign saw him finish among the leading run-scorers in the tournament, with 366 runs in 12 matches at an average of 61 and a strike rate of 146.99, including three half-centuries. In the 2025 season, Madhav scored 286 runs in 13 matches at an average of 31.78 and a strike rate of 139.51, with one half-century. His highest score was an explosive 95 off just 31 balls, an innings that included 10 fours and seven sixes and came at a strike rate of 306.45. Across the first three editions of the competition, Kaushik has therefore amassed 1,002 runs, making him one of the league's most experienced and productive batters. Beyond the T20 format, Madhav has established himself as a dependable top-order batter for Uttar Pradesh in first-class cricket. He has played 28 first-class matches, scoring 1,441 runs in 41 innings at an average of 37.92, with four centuries and five fifties. His highest first-class score is 185 not out against Nagaland in the 2025-26 season. In the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season, he scored 351 runs in eight innings at an average of 50.14, including his career-best 185, ending the season as the top run-getter for Uttar Pradesh. Beyond the T20 format, Madhav has established himself as a dependable top-order batter for Uttar Pradesh in first-class cricket. He has played 28 first-class matches, scoring 1,441 runs in 41 innings at an average of 37.92, with four centuries and five fifties.

UPT20 League: No Pressure Of Captaincy; We Are Built For Challenges, Says Meerut's Rinku Singh
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Meerut Mavericks captain Rinku Singh expressed sheer confidence in his squad's consistency and said they are expecting to perform well in the upcoming Season 4 of the UPT20 League. Our team has consistently performed brilliantly; we have played the finals for the last three seasons and won the title as well. There is no pressure of captaincy; we are built for challenges! My strategy is very straightforward: I tell every player in the team to give their 100% on the field without any pressure whenever they get a chance, Rinku Singh explained in the Captains' Meet, the official countdown to Uttar Pradeshs most prestigious cricketing event held in Lucknow on Thursday.

Setting a deeply collaborative tone, Chairman Dr. Sanjay Kapoor addressed the media with a heartfelt message. This league does not belong to one individual, but to all of us. The media is a part of our family. Until you are completely satisfied, neither the soundbites will stop nor the photographs.
